mainboard based on Intel®810M/Echipset. TheIntel®810M/Echipseten-
hancestheperformance ofthefirstgeneration Integrated Graphicschipset
designed fortheIntel®CeleronTMprocessorand Intel®Pentium III processor.
TheIntel®810M/Echipset’sarchitecturealso enablesanewsecurityand
manageabilityinfrastructurethrough aFirmwareHub Flash BIOScomponent.
TheIntel®810M/Echipsetcontainstwo corecomponents:
-Intel®82810EGraphicsandMemoryControllerHub (GMCH)
-Intel®82801BAI/OControllerHub2 (ICH2)
TheGMCHintegrates66/100/133MHz,P6familysystembuscontroller,
integrated 2D/3Dgraphicsaccelerator, 100MhzSDRAMcontrollerand ahigh-
speed hub interface forcommunication within theI/OControllerHub (ICH2).
TheICH2 integratesan UltraATA/100 controller, 2 USBhostcontrollerwith a
totalof4 ports, LPCinterface controller, FWHFlash BIOSinterface controller,
PCIinterface controller,AC’97digitalcontrollerand ahubinterface forcommu-
nication with theGMCH.

Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel®CeleronTM / Pentium III (FC-PGA)
processors. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket 370 for easy CPU
installation. Make sure that the CPU has a Heat Sink and a cooling fan at-
tached to prevent overheating. If you do not find the Heat Sink and cooling
fan, contact your dealer or purchase them before turning on the computer.
CPU Installation Procedures
1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree angle.
2. Look for the white dot or cut edge
in the CPU. Insert the CPU.
It should insert easily.
3. Press the lever down to complete
the installation.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
The mainboard can automatically set the CPU Host Bus Frequency Clock.
If CPUClock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 7
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHzx7
= 700MHz
OVERCLOCKING
This motherboard are designed to support overclocking.
However, please make sure your components are able to
tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking.
Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications are
not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or
risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product
specifications.
